Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Survey: that really-really Good Wife? POST A COMMENT Are you-one-of-those that harp 'bout how things were better back-in-the day? - 'wishing for simple-times, when marriage had all those hard-to-find things -- like romance, respect and decorum of ye olden' '30s? This old “marital rating scale,” - (used by marriage counsellors in 1939 to assess the performance of wives) – will spook us modern couples brought up to "believe in the equality of the sexes." I'm one-of-those that believe: treat-others-the-way-you-want-be treated...'but, go-on and call me old fashion, I like a mate to pay attention in "bed" -- in this old survey women are "deducted points if they are “slow in coming to bed”, “fail to sew on buttons or darn socks regularly” and flirt with other men at parties." -- hmm, this one comment from a british reader struck me funny: "I am heartened to see so many husbands have allowed their wives use of the computer." - technology will make some folks a bit-uppity.
